- Edit contributor comments as a general rule. GitHub provides [edit history](https://blog.github.com/changelog/2018-05-24-comment-edit-history/) which makes editing more acceptable as there is a way to see an audit log.

Transparency is a cornerstone of effective discourse and its absence undermines trust. And a change log doesn't fully eliminate these concerns.
